Would have brought in Richards personally, but you knew Kelly would be next cab off the rank when he was called up for the Norway game.

Now if Terry is out injured, what are the odds of Ferdinand being called up?

Damn I forgot Richards still hadn't been included, ridiculous.

The only logical explanation is that Richards didn't want to go to the Euros.

Or everyone really overrates him. When it's this desperate I don't think it matters and Kelly is perfectly fine to be called up this late. Richards isn't trusted by City.

I'd expect Ferdinand to be asked to come and he'd say yes. Though we're really being depleted by injuries this summer.

There was this debate a while ago, but I believe it was Jmay who showed that this simply wasn't true. Walker and Richards are clearly the best RB's in England. I would have rather called up Caulker than a backup right back. We only have 4 players who can play CB now, and Terry has been very injury prone this season. Woy has has some extremely suspect selections for the Euros._________________

I don't think Walker and Johnson being ahead of Richards is that much of a travesty, especially seeing as Johnson has been okay in defence this year. Kelly being taken is a stretch especially as Richards is more versatile but he isn't the best RB by a huge distance._________________
